Default semantics

“made” There you go again, thinking I made someone do something they didn’t want to.

I'll attempt clarify my use of the English language, hopefully to your satisfaction.

Until you scolded him for being unfair and potentially doing harm to a business, samiam had never uttered a bad word about Auto-Serv. Your scolding was the direct catalyst for his response. Since your accusations of unfairness were pointed based on your stated potential harm to the business, I find myself puzzled as to what you had intended to achieve when it appears to have backfired entirely. His reply contained the harm. His original question was direct, to the point, and perfectly harmless.

Hopefully I've expressed my point using terms you deem more acceptable. And lest I am the next to be accused of Nadia-hood, I'll end my responses right here.
